apologies Mynydd - i didn't believe you, but when i googled "recipe mayonnaise" this is what came up:
Process the egg yolks in a food processor with the salt, mustard powder and half the lemon juice or vinegar until the yolks are pale. With the motor operating, gradually add the olive oil-start by pouring in a thin stream with the motor pulsing. As the mayonnaise begins to thicken, pour the oil in a steady stream with the motor running constantly. Stop the processing as soon as all the oil is added. Add the white pepper and more lemon juice or vinegar to taste. Add the water and process briefly. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate until required, or transfer to a sealed sterilised jar and keep for up to 1 month.
so basically you are right! all it takes is egg yolks, oil and some flavourings. what i don't understand, and is quite frankly the reason i didnt believe your post is, how do they manage to cram so many calories in a jar of mayo when the basic ingredients are as above?
